Arpin fire station referendum

ARPIN - Voters in both the town and village of Arpin rejected a referendum that would have allowed officials to build and equip a new fire station.

By a vote of 137 for, to 280 against, town residents voted against the question that sought approval to build the new station at a cost of about $800,000. Village residents rejected it by a vote of 64 votes for, to 69 against. The town would have paid 83 percent of the cost; the village, 17 percent. If approved, the spending would have added about $81.87 to the tax bill for a home valued at $100,000 in the town for each of the next 20 years and $84.53 for a home valued at $100,000 in the village.
